[PATCH v4 00/20] Speculative page faults

[PATCH v4 00/20] Speculative page faults

[Laurent Dufour]

This is a port on kernel 4.14 of the work done by Peter Zijlstra to
handle page fault without holding the mm semaphore [1].

The idea is to try to handle user space page faults without holding the
mmap_sem. This should allow better concurrency for massively threaded
process since the page fault handler will not wait for other threads memory
layout change to be done, assuming that this change is done in another part
of the process's memory space. This type page fault is named speculative
page fault. If the speculative page fault fails because of a concurrency is
detected or because underlying PMD or PTE tables are not yet allocating, it
is failing its processing and a classic page fault is then tried.

The speculative page fault (SPF) has to look for the VMA matching the fault
address without holding the mmap_sem, so the VMA list is now managed using
SRCU allowing lockless walking. The only impact would be the deferred file
derefencing in the case of a file mapping, since the file pointer is
released once the SRCU cleaning is done.  This patch relies on the change
done recently by Paul McKenney in SRCU which now runs a callback per CPU
instead of per SRCU structure [1].

The VMA's attributes checked during the speculative page fault processing
have to be protected against parallel changes. This is done by using a per
VMA sequence lock. This sequence lock allows the speculative page fault
handler to fast check for parallel changes in progress and to abort the
speculative page fault in that case.

Once the VMA is found, the speculative page fault handler would check for
the VMA's attributes to verify that the page fault has to be handled
correctly or not. Thus the VMA is protected through a sequence lock which
allows fast detection of concurrent VMA changes. If such a change is
detected, the speculative page fault is aborted and a *classic* page fault
is tried.  VMA sequence locks are added when VMA attributes which are
checked during the page fault are modified.

When the PTE is fetched, the VMA is checked to see if it has been changed,
so once the page table is locked, the VMA is valid, so any other changes
leading to touching this PTE will need to lock the page table, so no
parallel change is possible at this time.

Compared to the Peter's initial work, this series introduces a spin_trylock
when dealing with speculative page fault. This is required to avoid dead
lock when handling a page fault while a TLB invalidate is requested by an
other CPU holding the PTE. Another change due to a lock dependency issue
with mapping->i_mmap_rwsem.

In addition some VMA field values which are used once the PTE is unlocked
at the end the page fault path are saved into the vm_fault structure to
used the values matching the VMA at the time the PTE was locked.

This series only support VMA with no vm_ops define, so huge page and mapped
file are not managed with the speculative path. In addition transparent
huge page are not supported. Once this series will be accepted upstream
I'll extend the support to mapped files, and transparent huge pages.

This series builds on top of v4.14-rc3-mmotm and is functional on x86 and
PowerPC.

Tests have been made using a large commercial in-memory database on a
PowerPC system with 752 CPU using RFC v5 using a previous version of this
series. The results are very encouraging since the loading of the 2TB
database was faster by 14% with the speculative page fault.

Using ebizzy test [3], which spreads a lot of threads, the result are good
when running on both a large or a small system. When using kernbench, the
result are quite similar which expected as not so much multithreaded
processes are involved. But there is no performance degradation neither
which is good.

Benchmarks results

Note there is no changes compared to the one recorded with the v3 series.

Ebizzy:
-------
The test is counting the number of records per second it can manage, the
higher is the best. I run it like this 'ebizzy -mTRp'. To get consistent
result I repeated the test 100 times and measure the average result, mean
deviation, max and min.

------------------------
Changes since v3:
 - Don't build when CONFIG_SMP is not set
 - Fixed a lock dependency warning in __vma_adjust()
 - Use READ_ONCE to access p*d values in handle_speculative_fault()
 - Call memcp_oom() service in handle_speculative_fault()
Changes since v2:
 - Perf event is renamed in PERF_COUNT_SW_SPF
 - On Power handle do_page_fault()'s cleaning
 - On Power if the VM_FAULT_ERROR is returned by
 handle_speculative_fault(), do not retry but jump to the error path
 - If VMA's flags are not matching the fault, directly returns
 VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV and not VM_FAULT_RETRY
 - Check for pud_trans_huge() to avoid speculative path
 - Handles _vm_normal_page()'s introduced by 6f16211df3bf
 ("mm/device-public-memory: device memory cache coherent with CPU")
 - add and review few comments in the code
Changes since v1:
 - Remove PERF_COUNT_SW_SPF_FAILED perf event.
 - Add tracing events to details speculative page fault failures.
 - Cache VMA fields values which are used once the PTE is unlocked at the
 end of the page fault events.
 - Ensure that fields read during the speculative path are written and read
 using WRITE_ONCE and READ_ONCE.
 - Add checks at the beginning of the speculative path to abort it if the
 VMA is known to not be supported.
Changes since RFC V5 [5]
 - Port to 4.13 kernel
 - Merging patch fixing lock dependency into the original patch
 - Replace the 2 parameters of vma_has_changed() with the vmf pointer
 - In patch 7, don't call __do_fault() in the speculative path as it may
 want to unlock the mmap_sem.
 - In patch 11-12, don't check for vma boundaries when
 page_add_new_anon_rmap() is called during the spf path and protect against
 anon_vma pointer's update.
 - In patch 13-16, add performance events to report number of successful
 and failed speculative events.

[PATCH v4 01/20] mm: Dont assume page-table invariance during faults

[Laurent Dufour]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

One of the side effects of speculating on faults (without holding
mmap_sem) is that we can race with free_pgtables() and therefore we
cannot assume the page-tables will stick around.

Remove the reliance on the pte pointer.

[PATCH v4 02/20] mm: Prepare for FAULT_FLAG_SPECULATIVE

[Laurent Dufour]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

When speculating faults (without holding mmap_sem) we need to validate
that the vma against which we loaded pages is still valid when we're
ready to install the new PTE.

Therefore, replace the pte_offset_map_lock() calls that (re)take the
PTL with pte_map_lock() which can fail in case we find the VMA changed
since we started the fault.

[PATCH v4 03/20] mm: Introduce pte_spinlock for FAULT_FLAG_SPECULATIVE

[Laurent Dufour]

When handling page fault without holding the mmap_sem the fetch of the
pte lock pointer and the locking will have to be done while ensuring
that the VMA is not touched in our back.

So move the fetch and locking operations in a dedicated function.

[PATCH v4 04/20] mm: VMA sequence count

[Laurent Dufour]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Wrap the VMA modifications (vma_adjust/unmap_page_range) with sequence
counts such that we can easily test if a VMA is changed.

The unmap_page_range() one allows us to make assumptions about
page-tables; when we find the seqcount hasn't changed we can assume
page-tables are still valid.

The flip side is that we cannot distinguish between a vma_adjust() and
the unmap_page_range() -- where with the former we could have
re-checked the vma bounds against the address.

[PATCH v4 05/20] mm: Protect VMA modifications using VMA sequence count

[Laurent Dufour]

The VMA sequence count has been introduced to allow fast detection of
VMA modification when running a page fault handler without holding
the mmap_sem.

This patch provides protection against the VMA modification done in :
	- madvise()
	- mremap()
	- mpol_rebind_policy()
	- vma_replace_policy()
	- change_prot_numa()
	- mlock(), munlock()
	- mprotect()
	- mmap_region()
	- collapse_huge_page()
	- userfaultd registering services

In addition, VMA fields which will be read during the speculative fault
path needs to be written using WRITE_ONCE to prevent write to be split
and intermediate values to be pushed to other CPUs.

[PATCH v4 06/20] mm: RCU free VMAs

[Laurent Dufour]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Manage the VMAs with SRCU such that we can do a lockless VMA lookup.

We put the fput(vma->vm_file) in the SRCU callback, this keeps files
valid during speculative faults, this is possible due to the delayed
fput work by Al Viro -- do we need srcu_barrier() in unmount
someplace?

We guard the mm_rb tree with a seqlock (this could be a seqcount but
we'd have to disable preemption around the write side in order to make
the retry loop in __read_seqcount_begin() work) such that we can know
if the rb tree walk was correct. We cannot trust the restult of a
lockless tree walk in the face of concurrent tree rotations; although
we can trust on the termination of such walks -- tree rotations
guarantee the end result is a tree again after all.

Furthermore, we rely on the WMB implied by the
write_seqlock/count_begin() to separate the VMA initialization and the
publishing stores, analogous to the RELEASE in rcu_assign_pointer().
We also rely on the RMB from read_seqretry() to separate the vma load
from further loads like the smp_read_barrier_depends() in regular
RCU.

We must not touch the vmacache while doing SRCU lookups as that is not
properly serialized against changes. We update gap information after
publishing the VMA, but A) we don't use that and B) the seqlock
read side would fix that anyhow.

We clear vma->vm_rb for nodes removed from the vma tree such that we
can easily detect such 'dead' nodes, we rely on the WMB from
write_sequnlock() to separate the tree removal and clearing the node.

Provide find_vma_srcu() which wraps the required magic.

Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>

[Remove the warnings in description about the SRCU global lock which
 has been removed now]
[Rename vma_is_dead() to vma_has_changed() and move its adding to the next
 patch]
[Postpone call to mpol_put() as the policy can be used during the
 speculative path]

[PATCH v4 07/20] mm: Cache some VMA fields in the vm_fault structure

[Laurent Dufour]

When handling speculative page fault, the vma->vm_flags and
vma->vm_page_prot fields are read once the page table lock is released. So
there is no more guarantee that these fields would not change in our back.
They will be saved in the vm_fault structure before the VMA is checked for
changes.

This patch also set the fields in hugetlb_no_page() and
__collapse_huge_page_swapin even if it is not need for the callee.

[PATCH v4 08/20] mm: Protect SPF handler against anon_vma changes

[Laurent Dufour]

The speculative page fault handler must be protected against anon_vma
changes. This is because page_add_new_anon_rmap() is called during the
speculative path.

In addition, don't try speculative page fault if the VMA don't have an
anon_vma structure allocated because its allocation should be
protected by the mmap_sem.

In __vma_adjust() when importer->anon_vma is set, there is no need to
protect against speculative page faults since speculative page fault
is aborted if the vma->anon_vma is not set.

When calling page_add_new_anon_rmap() vma->anon_vma is necessarily
valid since we checked for it when locking the pte and the anon_vma is
removed once the pte is unlocked. So even if the speculative page
fault handler is running concurrently with do_unmap(), as the pte is
locked in unmap_region() - through unmap_vmas() - and the anon_vma
unlinked later, because we check for the vma sequence counter which is
updated in unmap_page_range() before locking the pte, and then in
free_pgtables() so when locking the pte the change will be detected.

[PATCH v4 09/20] mm/migrate: Pass vm_fault pointer to migrate_misplaced_page()

[Laurent Dufour]

migrate_misplaced_page() is only called during the page fault handling so
it's better to pass the pointer to the struct vm_fault instead of the vma.

This way during the speculative page fault path the saved vma->vm_flags
could be used.

[PATCH v4 11/20] mm: Introduce __maybe_mkwrite()

The current maybe_mkwrite() is getting passed the pointer to the vma
structure to fetch the vm_flags field.

When dealing with the speculative page fault handler, it will be better to
rely on the cached vm_flags value stored in the vm_fault structure.

This patch introduce a __maybe_mkwrite() service which can be called by
passing the value of the vm_flags field.

There is no change functional changes expected for the other callers of
maybe_mkwrite().

[PATCH v4 12/20] mm: Introduce __vm_normal_page()

[Laurent Dufour]

When dealing with the speculative fault path we should use the VMA's field
cached value stored in the vm_fault structure.

Currently vm_normal_page() is using the pointer to the VMA to fetch the
vm_flags value. This patch provides a new __vm_normal_page() which is
receiving the vm_flags flags value as parameter.

Note: The speculative path is turned on for architecture providing support
for special PTE flag. So only the first block of vm_normal_page is used
during the speculative path.

[PATCH v4 13/20] mm: Introduce __page_add_new_anon_rmap()

[Laurent Dufour]

When dealing with speculative page fault handler, we may race with VMA
being split or merged. In this case the vma->vm_start and vm->vm_end
fields may not match the address the page fault is occurring.

This can only happens when the VMA is split but in that case, the
anon_vma pointer of the new VMA will be the same as the original one,
because in __split_vma the new->anon_vma is set to src->anon_vma when
*new = *vma.

So even if the VMA boundaries are not correct, the anon_vma pointer is
still valid.

If the VMA has been merged, then the VMA in which it has been merged
must have the same anon_vma pointer otherwise the merge can't be done.

So in all the case we know that the anon_vma is valid, since we have
checked before starting the speculative page fault that the anon_vma
pointer is valid for this VMA and since there is an anon_vma this
means that at one time a page has been backed and that before the VMA
is cleaned, the page table lock would have to be grab to clean the
PTE, and the anon_vma field is checked once the PTE is locked.

This patch introduce a new __page_add_new_anon_rmap() service which
doesn't check for the VMA boundaries, and create a new inline one
which do the check.

When called from a page fault handler, if this is not a speculative one,
there is a guarantee that vm_start and vm_end match the faulting address,
so this check is useless. In the context of the speculative page fault
handler, this check may be wrong but anon_vma is still valid as explained
above.

[PATCH v4 14/20] mm: Provide speculative fault infrastructure

[Laurent Dufour]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Provide infrastructure to do a speculative fault (not holding
mmap_sem).

The not holding of mmap_sem means we can race against VMA
change/removal and page-table destruction. We use the SRCU VMA freeing
to keep the VMA around. We use the VMA seqcount to detect change
(including umapping / page-table deletion) and we use gup_fast() style
page-table walking to deal with page-table races.

Once we've obtained the page and are ready to update the PTE, we
validate if the state we started the fault with is still valid, if
not, we'll fail the fault with VM_FAULT_RETRY, otherwise we update the
PTE and we're done.

[Manage the newly introduced pte_spinlock() for speculative page
 fault to fail if the VMA is touched in our back]
[Rename vma_is_dead() to vma_has_changed() and declare it here]
[Call p4d_alloc() as it is safe since pgd is valid]
[Call pud_alloc() as it is safe since p4d is valid]
[Set fe.sequence in __handle_mm_fault()]
[Abort speculative path when handle_userfault() has to be called]
[Add additional VMA's flags checks in handle_speculative_fault()]
[Clear FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY in handle_speculative_fault()]
[Don't set vmf->pte and vmf->ptl if pte_map_lock() failed]
[Remove warning comment about waiting for !seq&1 since we don't want
 to wait]
[Remove warning about no huge page support, mention it explictly]
[Don't call do_fault() in the speculative path as __do_fault() calls
 vma->vm_ops->fault() which may want to release mmap_sem]
[Only vm_fault pointer argument for vma_has_changed()]
[Fix check against huge page, calling pmd_trans_huge()]
[Introduce __HAVE_ARCH_CALL_SPF to declare the SPF handler only when
 architecture is supporting it]
[Use READ_ONCE() when reading VMA's fields in the speculative path]
[Explicitly check for __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL as we can't support for
 processing done in vm_normal_page()]
[Check that vma->anon_vma is already set when starting the speculative
 path]
[Check for memory policy as we can't support MPOL_INTERLEAVE case due to
 the processing done in mpol_misplaced()]
[Don't support VMA growing up or down]
[Move check on vm_sequence just before calling handle_pte_fault()]
[Don't build SPF services if !__HAVE_ARCH_CALL_SPF]
[Add mem cgroup oom check]

[PATCH v4 15/20] mm: Try spin lock in speculative path

[Laurent Dufour]

There is a deadlock when a CPU is doing a speculative page fault and
another one is calling do_unmap().

The deadlock occurred because the speculative path try to spinlock the
pte while the interrupt are disabled. When the other CPU in the
unmap's path has locked the pte then is waiting for all the CPU to
invalidate the TLB. As the CPU doing the speculative fault have the
interrupt disable it can't invalidate the TLB, and can't get the lock.

Since we are in a speculative path, we can race with other mm action.
So let assume that the lock may not get acquired and fail the
speculative page fault.

Here are the stacks captured during the deadlock:

	CPU 0
	native_flush_tlb_others+0x7c/0x260
	flush_tlb_mm_range+0x6a/0x220
	tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly+0x63/0xc0
	unmap_page_range+0x897/0x9d0
	? unmap_single_vma+0x7d/0xe0
	? release_pages+0x2b3/0x360
	unmap_single_vma+0x7d/0xe0
	unmap_vmas+0x51/0xa0
	unmap_region+0xbd/0x130
	do_munmap+0x279/0x460
	SyS_munmap+0x53/0x70

	CPU 1
	do_raw_spin_lock+0x14e/0x160
	_raw_spin_lock+0x5d/0x80
	? pte_map_lock+0x169/0x1b0
	pte_map_lock+0x169/0x1b0
	handle_pte_fault+0xbf2/0xd80
	? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10
	handle_speculative_fault+0x272/0x280
	handle_speculative_fault+0x5/0x280
	__do_page_fault+0x187/0x580
	trace_do_page_fault+0x52/0x260
	do_async_page_fault+0x19/0x70
	async_page_fault+0x28/0x30

[PATCH v4 19/20] x86/mm: Add speculative pagefault handling

[Laurent Dufour]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Try a speculative fault before acquiring mmap_sem, if it returns with
VM_FAULT_RETRY continue with the mmap_sem acquisition and do the
traditional fault.

Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>

[Clearing of FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY is now done in
 handle_speculative_fault()]
[Retry with usual fault path in the case VM_ERROR is returned by
 handle_speculative_fault(). This allows signal to be delivered]
[Don't build SPF call if !__HAVE_ARCH_CALL_SPF]

[PATCH v4 20/20] powerpc/mm: Add speculative page fault

[Laurent Dufour]

This patch enable the speculative page fault on the PowerPC
architecture.

This will try a speculative page fault without holding the mmap_sem,
if it returns with VM_FAULT_RETRY, the mmap_sem is acquired and the
traditional page fault processing is done.

Support is only provide for BOOK3S_64 currently because:
- require CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU because checks done in
  set_access_flags_filter()
- require BOOK3S because we can't support for book3e_hugetlb_preload()
  called by update_mmu_cache()

Here's where I mess up your life ;)

It would be more idiomatic to define this in arch/XXX/Kconfig:

config SPF
	def_bool y if SMP

then use CONFIG_SPF everywhere.

Also, it would be better if CONFIG_SPF were defined at the start of the
patch series rather than the end, so that as the patches add new code,
that code is actually compilable.  For bisection purposes.  I can
understand if this is too much work and effort - we can live with
things the way they are now.

This patchset is a ton of new code in very sensitive areas and seems to
have received little review and test.  I can do a
merge-and-see-what-happens but it would be quite a risk to send all
this upstream based only on my sketchy review and linux-next runtime
testing.  Can we bribe someone?

That's ok... for this time ;)

That's far smarter ! Thanks for the tip, I'll change the series in this way.

I'll make the change and define CONFIG_SPF earlier, since until the patch
enabling SPF page fault handler call in the arch part, the code is not
triggered but the sequence count and the RCU stuff will be called this way.

I'll do appreciate to get more review too. So please...
